Join us for Lent Season and Easter!
This Year we explore EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN: MEETING GOD IN THE MIDST OF EXTREMES. This Is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Each weekly sub-theme explores two supposed binaries, like “faith & works” or “rest & growth,” or “grief & hope.” We often consider these ideas to be opposing. However, as we explore these
concepts within the scriptures, we find nuance and complexity. We find that these dichotomies are false.
We might begin to see a full spectrum instead of black and white. We might find that God is present in between. And so, this season, we invite you to look beyond black and white binaries and easy answers. We encourage you to notice the dichotomies that define our lives, but also imagine where God might be meeting us beyond the categories we create. This theme may resonate with anyone who is in discernment or trying to find their way through an undefined space. It will speak to anyone who feels as if they are living in a divided world. It is for those who seek a spiritual life that engages with complexity instead of avoiding it.
This Lent, we're trusting that God shows up in shades of gray, rainbow hues, and everywhere in between. Join us Sundays as we focus on this main theme and also on Wednesdays for half hour worship (except Ash Wednesday) that will lift your spirit. It features use of the moving Holden Evening Prayer Liturgy * and a special message from a pastor. Pastor Jim will be rotating with the pastors of Christ Lutheran in West Covina and Rock of the Foothills in La Verne to share the message. Wednesdays will also have a simple meal, usually a delicious soup, at 5:15pm. Letting our our office know you will attend the dinner a few days before is appreciated to help with planning.
